Re: 5 Lug Conversion in ep3 (JoeyBallzSI)

you can make it jdm yO!!

5-lugs are usually superior to a 4-lug pattern. handle more torque...but since its a honda, that isn't really a problem. i think it was to lessen the various parts used, that way the hubs can be shared with the ctr and rsx instead of having two different hubs for one car. makes sense to me. plus, you do have a wider variety of aftermarket and honda wheels to choose from.

Old school wheels do not mix with later model cars.
